In the 30s, I think it was, George Gaylord Simpson made his way
through the Altiplano with a buddy. They were invited into a
shepherd's dugout hovel for a meal. GG declined the "rice". Afterward
his friend turned to him and commented on how nice the sweet rice
was. GG apparently never had the heart to tell him they were boiled
maggots. Those high-country far,mers were so poor, nothing was
allowed to go to waste.

Also the Argentinians are partial to "vegetarian" sausages au
naturel. If the donor sheep is frightened by the beginning of the
human part of the manufacturing process, the sausages tend to develop
a strong taste of bile. This is because the sheep makes the sausage.
The sheep is then killed, the sausage is removed from its place
between the stomach & large intestine, tied into sections and
separated. Ready to cook...
